I wasn't into the hype for SUPER 8 when it first came out..but because my friend PAUL recommended it.. I decided to check it out. As Paul put it, it was an 'ode to our own childhood as dreamers'. I was surprised at how it really DID remind me of the curiosity & innocence of our childhood.. This is definately the E.T. / GOONIES (from my childhood days) of this new generation. Elle Fanning was so good in it. The ending was a little cheesy but the overall movie wasn't bad. You do tend to feel connected to the characters. It's worth renting.

My friend Paul also recommended HANNA. I had NO IDEA what this movie was about before rending it but it was super exciting to watch. I love watching movies where Kids Kick ASS! Basically this 16 yr old is brought up to be an assassin. It was such a good suspense thriller. Cate Blanchett is pretty awesome in it too..but I have to say SAOIRSE RONAN ROCKS in this movie! The music for this movie is by the CHEMICAL BROTHERS. Now go rent it!

It's been a relaxing holiday season for me this year as I've been a little under the weather and my baby is starting to kick A LOT... because it's so cold outside, it feels a lot better to stay home and catch up on all my favorite TV shows and movies. I hope everyone is having a great Holiday break!! I promise to bring more exciting updates after the New Year!!! Bring it 2012!

I know this movie came out a while ago but I was always curious about it. I heard my MILO has been obsessed with it so I had to watch it so that I can have fun conversations with him. hehe CARS 1 was pretty cute and a pretty good 'life lesson' type of movie for kids. The jokes are pretty funny and the ending of the movie leaves you feeling like 'awww friendship is awesome & life is much more beautiful with FRIENDS.' If you are looking for a cute movie to rent for the holidays..I recommend CARS.

CARS 2 is SOOOOO FUNNY! It has the 'james bond' kind of story and I LOVE how they travel to TOKYO...and how everything is technologically advanced! haha My favorite scene was when Mater goes into the Japanese bathroom. I started to feel that MATER was annoying but knew that in the end he would come out a HERO. I hope I didn't give too much away. I would watch CARS 1 before watching the sequel. There are so many new characters so it helps to know who the original ones are. I definately recommend this movie too!
